Enjoy the thousands of crocuses on display this weekend as East Worlington House opens its doors for the National Garden Scheme.

The event on Sunday March 4 and Sunday March 11 from 1:30pm to 5:00pm is supporting the charities of the National Garden Scheme. Admission is £4.00 and children free

Thousands of crocuses have spread over many years through the two acre garden and into the neighbouring churchyard. The garden is set in a position with views down the valley to the Little Dart River. Visitors can walk down to the river, across the bridge into the wildflower meadow - not flowering yet - and join the public footpaths in the woods.

Teas will be available in the parish hall and profit will go towards work on the building.

The garden is in the centre of East Worlington, two miles west of Witheridge. From Witheridge square go right to East Worlington. After one and a half miles turn right at the T-junction in Drayford, over the bridge then left to Worlington. After 0.3 mile turn left at the T-junction. The garden is 200 yards on left. Disabled parking at the house. Parking nearby.

The National Garden Scheme raises money for charities including Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie and Hospice UK. To see all the gardens open in Devon this year pick up a yellow booklet at your nearest garden centre or visit www.ngs.org.uk
